The server migration I announced earlier should be complete now.
The DNS entries may still be a little wonky (if you had trouble reaching my web page or even sending me an email for a little while, that’s probably why), but apart from that all should be peachy. The new box is quite snappy, so that’s good!
Oh, of course the new server has a new name, too: Rest in peace, Aurora, and welcome to the family, Luna!
Second Bugzilla-related user script today: Bugzilla 3.2 introduced a keyword chooser that always pops up when you click on the keywords field. Sadly, it keeps you from entering the keywords by hand, even if you know exactly what you want to type. Choosing it from the list and clicking the arrow, then okay takes much longer.
So here’s another very simple Greasemonkey user script that just reverts to the original behavior of a simple text field:
bugzilla-fix-keywords.user.js (click to install)
I really think instead of the current chooser, a simple keyword suggestion feature should be used that works somehow like the del.icio.us tag find-as-you-type feature:
That could be another user script (or rather an extension to this simple script here). Anyone feel like making it?
Update: This user script of mine has also been deprecated by the fix introduced with bug 452734 — we now have a convenient auto-complete feature, similar to the one I suggested above. Great! Here’s a screenshot:
Later tonight, the webserver this blog (and a bunch of other sites) runs on will be migrated to a new, bigger server.
The main reason is that the old box ran out of RAM quite frequently lately (it is a virtual machine that has a flexible RAM limit). The cause of this was mainly the ever-increasing amount of spam, and in spite of the most recent counter-measures, the little VM wasn’t able to cope with it any longer. The new server has a bigger CPU, twice as much RAM guaranteed, and other improved features that make me confident that the change is the right step.
For you, dear readers, this means you may experience a few problems loading our websites while we are performing the migration (sorry) but we’ll try to keep it to a minimum. You’ll be rewarded with an even faster, nicer, and obviously awesomer fredericiana.com later. Thanks for your patience!
This is a meme I borrowed from Freya. It’s a Google image search meme. Search for your answer for each one, and pick your favorite from the first 3 pages.
Feel free to pick it up if you like, and don’t forget to trackback!
While Freya got a bunch of “naked chicks” in her search results (and neglected to include them, much to the dismay of her male readership), I got a bunch of muscular models that share my first name–who I conveniently chose not to display here either (sorry female readership 
). Here we go:
